Stock Library Can ANZAOGAOK (silent)

This silent film compilation from the 1960s spans various themes, including historical reenactments, industrial processes, and scenes of everyday life across different cultures and settings. It begins with historical scenes featuring women in period dresses walking on a wooden ship's deck, men in colonial garb carrying rifles along dirt roads, and scenes of a colonial building and a dock near a wooden sailing ship. These scenes transition to an industrial setting with men working in foundries, shoveling coal into furnaces, and inspecting molten metal. The film then shifts to more contemporary scenes, showing commercial airliners taxiing on crowded tarmacs and steam trains traveling along wooded railroad tracks. There are glimpses of soldiers in period uniforms, priests packing suitcases, and African soldiers and workers near forests and railroad tracks. Scenes from various cultures and locales are depicted, including African women carrying baskets, children rowing canoes, and people walking through narrow streets in a medieval English village. There are also industrial scenes with spools of thread spinning in textile mills and molten metal being poured in foundries. The film includes pastoral and rural life with images of white barns and farmhouses, cows grazing, and farm produce on display. It also captures dental procedures, archaeological sites in Rome, and Roman reenactments with men in tunics and peasants working in fields. We digitized and uploaded this film from the A/V Geeks 16mm Archive. Email us at footage@avgeeks.com if you have questions about the footage and are interested in using it in your project.
